The platform consists of dozens of microservices that are mainly based on Java 11 (Spring) and Node.js. Backend services communicate through Kafka. The backend communicates with the frontend through Rest API. Data is stored in Postgres. Services run in Docker containers on three AWS data centres in high availability mode, managed by Kubernetes. The front end is based on React. We use GitLab for source control and continuous integration. Our development process is based on Scrum with 2-week sprints.
